Re: Please answer my Q on BHB!
I understand your dilemma. I don't think you should feel obligated to extend an invite to people with whom you have no relationship. But you don't want to completely exclude them either.
One option: It's an old tradition, but very prevalent in some parts of the country, to send an announcement after you are married. So of like, 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith are please to announce the marriage of their daugher...'
It's one way to include them without actually inviting them.
Just a thought

Just an opinion... it's what we are doing, and what my brother and sister-in-law did too.
If you are paying for the wedding yourselves, you do not need to invite anyone that you don't want there. Especially if those people are family you haven't seen or spoken to in years. We've already had comments from our families about not inviting certain people but no matter how many people you invite, you will always have at least one person offended that you didn't invite somebody they think should be there! Do what you want - it's your day!
